Several bridges have recently reopened across the U.S., enhancing local traffic flow and safety. The Craig Memorial Bridge in Toledo, Ohio, has officially reopened after repairs were completed following an incident where a car ran through its gates in July. In Fargo, North Dakota, the 42nd Street South bridge over Interstate 94 is set to reopen on July 30 after being closed for repairs since June 10, funded through city, state, and federal sources. Meanwhile, the Douglas Street Pedestrian Bridge in Washington, D.C., has been rebuilt and reopened after its collapse in June 2021 due to a truck strike, with Mayor Muriel Bowser highlighting its improved safety features.
